Rugby star to turn out for Ulster Unionists

If there’s a better political party blog than that of the Young Unionists, we’d like to hear of it. Here they announce the decision of Tyrone Howe to stand for election in the relatively safe UUP seat of Dromore, Co Down. And of course they were still dining out of the Jim Allister coup on Sunday. Clicking on the jimallister.com site now takes you to the YUs, where you can view the original notice on their blog.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
